Title: Process for the Transformation of Organic Substances by Partial Combustion.
Inventor: WALTER JOHANN
Filed: 1905-10-27
Granted: 1906-10-27
Abstract: 21,941. Walter, J. Oct. 27, 1904, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Aldehydes; acetic acid; carboxylic acids.-Relates to the transformation of organic substances into others of greater value by means of partial combustion. The process comprises thorough mixing by mechanical means of the substance to be oxidized with air, oxygen, or in certain cases steam, the use of steam as a diluent, the maintaining of particular temperatures in the heating- chamber, and the use of heating-chambers of suitable sizes. Contact substances may be used. When heating-chambers of small section are necessary, the reacting mixture is distributed in a number of tubes of small diameter. In examples, methyl alcohol, ether, ethylene, and methane, are oxidized to formaldehyde, steam being used as a diluent. In another example, a mineral oil distillate boiling above 300‹ C. is sprayed into a current of air and steam. The mixture is led over hot copper asbestos. The condensate comprises an oily layer about half of which boils between 140‹ C. and 300‹ C., and an aqueous layer containing acetic acid, an acid solidifying at 0‹ C., and an aldehyde having the smell of peppermint. Suitable apparatus for producing formaldehyde from methyl alcohol comprises a copper vessel containing methyl alcohol, and surrounded by a water bath. Air is forced through a coil surrounding the vessel and leading into the lower part of the vessel, and escapes through the perforated end of the coil. The mixture of air and alcohol vapour so obtained is mixed with steam by a spraying-nozzle arranged in a pipe which conveys the gases from the vessel through two heated iron wire nets of fine mesh. The gases pass next through three branch tubes containing copper asbestos to a vertical pipe leading to a condenser. As contact substances may be used, platinum, iridium, palladium, silver, uranium, vanadium, iron, cobalt, nickel, cerium, thorium, copper, manganese, titanium, didymium, tungsten, lead oxide or chrom oxide with or without lime, molybdenic acids, thallium oxide, arsenic, or mercury. When mercury is used, it is collected by passing the gases over rolls of copper or gold net. The gas current is reversed to carry the mercury back into the apparatus.

A machine for removing dust by suction from carpets, furniture, curtains, tapestry, &c. is characterized by : (1) the maximum vacuum produced does not exceed 220 grammes per square centimetre ; (2) the degree of vacuum is regulated automatically in accordance with the resistance to the suction of the dust-laden air ; (3) all the constituent parts are assembled in a single casing preferably mounted on wheels so as to be readily portable. In the form shown, dustladen air is drawn through a suction mouth o', flexible tube o, and bag filter A in a closed removable chamber D by two pairs of bellows 1 ... 4 operated from a two-throw crank-shaft driven by an electromotor x. The filter comprises an ovoid receptacle consisting of a framework of. metallic hoops enclosed in an envelope of loose fibrous filtering-material, which may also contain an antiseptic or aromatic powder for disinfecting or scenting the air. To regulate the degree of vacuum, the suction conduit k to the bellows communicates with a small auxiliary bellows r, the movable flap of which is connected by a cord F with the motor rheostat R and a retracting-spring S. By this means, the speed of the motor varies with the degree of collapse of the bellows r, i.e. with the degree of vacuum in the suction conduit. When the predetermined maximum vacuum, corresponding to the highest speed of the motor, is attained, the suction conduit is opened to the atmosphere at the bellows valve v.

Abstract: 7039. Armstrong, Whitworth, & Co., Sir W. G., and Hadcock, A. G. March 23. Ordnance breech mechanism.-Relates to devices for withdrawing the unlocked breech-screw a short distance axially before swinging it aside. In the arrangement shown, the breech - screw B is mounted, by an interrupted thread C<2>, upon the carrier stem C, and is formed with recesses in its rear face in which engage projections K<2> on a plate K, which is also mounted upon the stem C by a quick-threaded screw C'. When the plate K is rotated by 'the lever H, or by other suitable mechanism, such as that described in Specification No. 28,490, A.D. 1903, the breech-screw B is rotated by the lugs K<2>, but, owing to the difference betweenthe pitches of the threads C', C<2>, the plate K recedes more rapidly than the breechscrew and withdraws the lugs from engagement with the breech-screw. The latter then ceases to rotate, but receives a further movement, to unseat the obturator, through the engagement of the rear face of the plate K with the heads of studs B' carried by the breechscrew. T h i movement also causes s the interrupted portions of the threads C<2> to interlock, so that the breech-screw is held against further rotation as it is swung aside. The invention may be applied to any screw-breech mechanism. The breech-screw is preferably formed with spiral threads, as described in Specification No. 25,444, A.D. 1897.
